LA RO qu

Based on changes to the law, we updated Who can get a protective order? in our Louisiana Protective Orders (for Domestic Abuse) section to include the following additional definitions of “family members” and “household members”: the other parent of the abuser’s child; the other foster parent of the abuser’s foster child; any child who live(d) in the same home as the abuser; and other relatives, known in the law as ”ascendants” and ”descendants”. Additionally, in What is the legal definition of domestic abuse in Louisiana? we clarified the definition of ”abuse of an adult” that is committed by an adult child to explain that “abuse” can include physical or mental injury, sexual abuse, abandonment, isolation, exploitation, or extortion of funds or other things of value.
